  • Author: D. Orban and G.J.K. Moernaut

This article explores the basic concepts of patch antennas. We use a simple rectangular, half wave long, probe-fed patch operating in its fundamental mode as an example. Topics include principles of operation, impedance matching, radiation pattern, circular polarization, bandwidth, efficiency, alternative feed types, stacked patches and higher mode behavior.
